gateb Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Seriously, who? The guy does it all. He's money in the biggest of spots, great teammate, stand up guy when it comes to the media. I wouldn't trade this guy for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Most importantly, he wins games. I could care less if he ever comes close to his brother's stat-filled seasons...all he does is win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't trade this guy for anyone. I dont know if I would take anyone. Although you have to look at his O line they deserve a lot of credit.

Allstarjim Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 He has command of this team and of the playbook. His on field intelligence at this point I would say rivals Peyton's. He has become an elite QB in the NFL. The Giants need to remember to always make sure Eli has a good O-line like he does now, though. This is fun... being a Giants fan right now. It's great because we are 4-0 and staring at Cleveland, San Francisco, and an increasingly banged up Pittsburgh team the next 3 weeks. I really like our chances in this division this year. Redskins are doing us favors, too, by beating up on Cowboys and Egirls, while we already have a win against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I dont know if I would take anyone. Although you have to look at his O line they deserve a lot of credit. Yeah Eli has only been sacked 5 times, he must feel really comfortable back there knowing what kind of protection he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Giant Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 There are more skilled qb's out there, Brady for example, but anyone think Brady would fit into our team philosophy? I don't see a super star, super model girl friend, galavanting around the town etc working for this team well. I think Eli fits out team perfectly, a humble do what ever is asked of him, be it hand it off all day or carry the team on his back and lead the team down the field late in the game for a game winning score.

gateb Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 maybe brady after seeing how horrible the pats are w/o him, but probably not I meant among QBs that are healthy. You know what else impressed the hell out of me today? When it was 37-6 I looked down at the sidelines and everyone looked so focused, like it was 17-13. Reflection of the franchise, from top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Brady or Romo are comparable. Strictly for this season, I'd say Brees as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only beef with Romo is he turns it over so much, he fumbles like Kurt Warner. I'd consider Palmer, he's just unfortunate enough to play on that cluster fuck in Cincy.

There is some truth to that, but I don't think Dallas has a bad line either, Romo spends as much time doing a jig back there when nobody is around him as he does looking for who is open. Romo is a fine QB, but he has a tendancy to be really bone headed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Nobody. There isn't anyone in the league I'd take over Eli right now. And coming from one of his biggest detractors on the board, that says a lot. Man, I love being wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady has always been pretty classy, and was always the team leader in offseason workouts (until this past season). Aside from Brady, the dog is hard-pressed to ignore Peyton Manning. After that, there are several QB's that could be considered (Romo, Brees and Cutler)...but this would have to be better assessed as the year progresses...still too young in the season to determine, and Manning is playing at a higher level then ever has...

Brees and Cutler, maybe. But not someone who is averaging a pick a game and fumbles more than a guy with no hands. Romo only has alot of yds because he's aired it out in desperation three times this season. Only CLE was fairly easy for them, but since opening day, their D has struggled, therefore forcing Tony to throw. He aint the great QB everyone has him painted out to be.

He aint the great QB everyone has him painted out to be. all the more reason why he is a legit QB, in the dog's opinion. if he can still put up good numbers and win facing "desperation" situations, isn't that a mark of a good QB (the same mark many here use for Manning...)...the fact is, he is a good QB, whether you love the cowboys or hate the cowboys, and if you are truely respectful of the game, and not just a homer, you can admit to that fact (honestly, the dog means no offense with that, but it is true...)...
